10. Did you dream last night?Oh yeah! This is a good question--I dreamed my mom, who is 61 was pregnant and she was going to have the baby, and my sister and I were like, that's cool, cuz if you die, we can just take care of the baby. And then my mom got my sister and I some charms from Tiffany's like the one from the sterling silver link bracelet, and the charms had our birthdates and names on them, and I was annoyed because my charm had brushed gold on it and my sister's did not, and the brushed gold does not match the sterling silver and I wanted to try to steal my sister's charm, but then realized I couldn't because it had her name on it.

11. When did you last laugh?Right now, as I thought about that crazy dream.

12. What is on the walls of the room you are in?My favorite room in my house--cream red Disney color called Firefly something or the other, pictures of my children, letters that spell out D R E A M that I bought and painted metallic gold, and little hanging thing that says S I M P L I F Y. One of those cork boards where you slip pictures through the ribbons, and it's got pictures of my very close friends on it, and then lots of pictures of beautiful children of my close friends and a great picture of my new nephew, who I will get to play with all weekend--Ethan!

Also on the walls are ribbons with cut-out decorated stars hanging from them that Diva created and they blow in the air when the heater goes on. They remind me of how much I love her when I see them every day. Let's see, what else is in here. A cool votive candle holder with beading that I'm always too scared to light because what if the wax drips onto my chair? A sunshine mirror. An Irish Claddaugh mirror. Another sunshine mirror; Jamaican artwork I love by Claude Dambreuilley, and a small paper machette painted sunshine to remind me to be happy.

Oh, and a lightswitch.

13. Seen anything weird lately?Too much to write about.

14. What do you think of this quiz?Better than the one where they ask you who would be most likely to respond and what is your favorite color, or who did you talk to on the phone last. I hope those questions aren't below, because I truly didn't look through the whole quiz.

15. What is the last film you saw?Movie? At the theater, Nanny McPhee, which was awesome, and I was crying at the end, and Diva was looking at me and begging me not to cry, please Mommy, don't cry, it's not sad!

16. If you became a multi-millionaire overnight, what would you buy?A personal chef. A personal trainer. Both would have to be late twenties, and hot. Oh, and Random House or one of those big publishing companies so I could get my novel published!

17. If you could change one thing about the world, regardless of guilt or politics, what would you do?No murder. No cancer. Shit, I can't think of just one.

18. Do you like to dance?With a good buzz and good music.

19. George W. Bush is:a president? The son of a former president? A guy who the comedians on SNL makes fun of?

20. Imagine your first child is a girl, what do you call her?DivaBitchDoll. This one's not fair because I have one already, so I'm omitting this question, and the next one which is the same question but about a boy.

21. Did you learn anything about this quiz?Yeah, I like my office. And, I'm hungry.

22. Here's one I just thought up: What is the most significant memory of your childhood, good or bad?When I was three and pooped in my underwear and my Dad was watching basketball and I don't know where my mom was (work maybe) and he made me go into the bathroom and clean it up myself, and I remember thinking there are tiny little holes in the underwear because when they sew them, there just are. So, I was amazed that the poop stayed in the underwear and didn't leak through all the holes. It was gross. I really, really remember that.

10. Did you dream last night?I'm sure I did, but can not remember what it was about...hmm..unusual for me. But the night before was some weird military themed dream sequence...

11. When did you last laugh?Reading Manic's answers.

12. What is on the walls of the room you are in?My living room...we collect black and white photography...so grey walls with dark green trim and black wooden framed pictures everywhere. I have photos I've purchased and framed, I have some by a weird friend of mine, I have one of me and my little sister in a Seattle Starbucks done by a professional photographer (long story) and most recently, I framed pictures hubby took while on our honeymoon. One is a cool shot of shuttered windows overlooking a canal in Amsterdam, and the other is a canal and ivy covered bridge in Bruge, Belgium. Also...an art-student painted copy of "Starry Night", two iron and glass mirror candle holders and, oddly enough, a stuffed squirrel perched on a speaker.

13. Seen anything weird lately?One lone pair of women's underwear on the lawn outside of the library on campus.

14. What do you think of this quiz?Fun...and I write too much.

15. What is the last film you saw?Match Point. Yeah. Very. That. Wouldn't recommend it. Watch a real opera instead, with singing and dying and interesting characters.

16. If you became a multi-millionaire overnight, what would you buy?A house by the sea and a new car.

17. If you could change one thing about the world, regardless of guilt or politics, what would you do?I have no idea...only one thing? Eliminate the need for war? That would cover a whole lot of ground.

18. Do you like to dance?I live to dance. I dance in the kitchen. Sometimes, I think it must scare my neighbors.

19. George W. Bush is:The current leader of the current American paradigm.

20. Imagine your first child is a girl, what do you call her?Maia...having a hard time with the middle name.

boy: all my favorites are too popular...have to keep hitting the baby name book...

21. Did you learn anything about this quiz?I really do write too much. But hey, you don't have to read it all.

22. Here's one I just thought up: What is the most significant memory of your childhood, good or bad?I remember being very angry that my mom was entertaining some friends, and not paying enough attention to me, so I went outside to our patio and stuffed rocks so far up my nose she had to take me to the doctors to extract them. I remember the smell of blood and steel when they were pulled out. I was two and a half at the time, and it set the stage for many interactions between my mom and I.
